well that sounds super

before we go any further i highly suggest you read the >>SAU guidelines<< and contact the Trader Admin to find out what you need to do to keep your signature advertising your business

i wish you all the best in your endeavors in a very competitive trade but with the premise of opening at weird hours to suit your customer that will appeal to quiet a few i imagine

that's not Ben from Smooth Garage or Simon Michealmore ??

thats wicked...good to hear a garage being open at all sorts of wierd hours to cater for people that work the normal 9-5 hours...goodluck to all involved and hopefully see you guys soon....considering your up north

Any opening discounts? Say... a certain high percentage off the receipt? :P

Yeah we will be giving discount to random people at our meet and greet day.

Yeah Ben and i know how hard it is to get stuff done to your cars when your working long hours. We are also thinking about getting a car trailer so if your cruising around and brake down you can call us and we can come out and bring your car back to our workshop repair it and get it back on the road asap.

now that car trailer idea is a winner works on so many levels and im sure not just import drivers would use a service like that

yes been in the positon of having an unroadworthy car and just getting it to place's for tunes is hard so its also good for those of you with track only cars, and need work done, we can collect and drop the car off to you. Also we are working on all types of cars and not just imports :P

then it should be like $70 round trip i know flat top's to charge about that much

and remember its an inconvenience service

But they aren't a towing company, if they charge you a small fee for towing as long as its going to their workshop, then the cash is made in parts and labour, not dollars per k's.

    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
    • You can probably scrub the rust with a toothbrush or something. After you get the rust off flush well with water to neutralize and you will probably want to also use a fuel tank sealer to keep it from rusting again.
    • The sodium citrate solution is designed to buffer the citric acid to keep it from attacking metal quite so much, the guy that came up with that recipe did a ton of testing on how much metal loss occurs over time and it's nothing crazy unless you forget about it for months:
